CRIME Medford man accidentally shoots himself while showing gun to 7-Eleven clerk Comment By Damian Mann Mail Tribune MailTribune.com By Damian Mann Mail Tribune Posted Oct. 18, 2015 at 8:32 PM Updated Oct 18, 2015 at 9:56 PM By Damian Mann Mail Tribune Posted Oct. 18, 2015 at 8:32 PM Updated Oct 18, 2015 at 9:56 PM » Social News Police arrested a 22-year-old Medford man who accidentally discharged a revolver into his hand at a 7-Eleven at Crater Lake Avenue and McAndrews Road on Saturday night while attempting to show it to a store clerk, who narrowly missed being struck by the bullet. Brodie McArthur Larson, of the 1300 block of Brentcrest Drive in Medford, was charged with carrying a concealed handgun without a permit and two counts of endangering. He was released from Jackson County Jail on his own recognizance. Police say Larson was carrying the revolver in the same pocket as his wallet when he approached the 7-Eleven counter around 9:00 p.m. Saturday. He had to pull out the gun in order to remove the wallet. According to police, the clerk commented on how nice a gun it was, so Larson attempted to unload it to let the clerk get a better look. While Larson unloaded the gun, it discharged into his hand, and the bullet whizzed by the clerk’s head, police say. Initially police suspected a botched robbery, but after some investigation police said they determined it was just a case of a person making very poor decisions with a loaded gun. Medford police Sgt. Jason Antley said someone who has a concealed carry permit could carry a firearm into a store unless the store has a policy against bringing a gun inside. Generally, notices are posted near the front door, he said. A representative at the 7-Eleven said he could provide no comments regarding the accidental shooting or whether the store has a policy prohibiting bringing firearms into the building. —Reach reporter Damian Mann at 541-776-4476 or [email protected] .
